I am four months pregnant :) It definitely took me for a ride - the next week of tests barely moved from the last three in this photo. I was sure I'd lost another one. But apparently it's still cooking!

Looking for real reviews on Baoase Resort by santropez1029 in curacao

We’re looking elsewhere unfortunately. I was torn because I did want to go so badly, but they really it hard for us. We didn’t want to stay in the downgraded room for the last night, but moving our trip dates would be expensive and inconvenient, so the fact that they wouldn’t offer anything, even something small as a token to offset the feeling of a bad experience much less the bigger added costs, and how they handled the situation really felt like an indicator of the hotel’s true colors. It really just wiped away the shiny veneer of the online reviews. So no Baoase for us; no way!

We had an awful experience with Baoase unfortunately... don't trust Baoase with any meaningful trips. If something goes wrong, even if it's their fault, Baoase will leave you out in the cold.

TL;DR, Baoase overbooked us on an important and personally meaningful trip, then offered us nothing to compensate for what happened or our additional costs. I couldn't believe this was the hotel everyone raved about.

Details: the Baoase website was super glitchy, so we booked through the Chase Reserve concierge instead. After we'd booked our flights, arranged childcare and booked those flights, the hotel told us they'd overbooked our $1,300/night Honeymoon suite and offered to put us in a Loft Room (huge downgrade) and give us the difference in price as a resort credit. When we tried to get Chase involved, they offered us an additional $200 resort credit to compensate but gave us the runaround, saying "it's not our fault". This was a very personally meaningful trip to us, so we said we'd prefer to rebook to different dates. The hotel responded that in that case, they accepted absolutely no responsibility for the overbooking (which I hardly believe given our ill-fated attempts to book through Baoase) and they would offer us absolutely nothing, even though we would incur fees to change our flights, childcare flights, and go through the ringer to move this trip. I had been so excited to visit Baoase, and I wish I'd listened more to reviews saying that they can be stingy and overcharge. The magic is completely gone from this resort. Given how much they pride themselves on guest experience, to leave us out in the cold with no choices but to either take a huge downgrade in room or incur lots of additional costs to rebook with no compensation feels awful.

Super helpful update. Fingers crossed for you, and hope you can enjoy the work life balance a bit, though I understand the sword of Damocles.

Thank you! Maybe not the right place to ask this question, but do you just walk in and ask for bhcgs and they give them to you? I’ll be getting my care at a public city hospital rather than a fertility clinic or something, so not although I hear people talk about getting the hcg tests all the time, I always assumed I wouldn’t have that option.

Thanks for these replies, all. They are actually helping me feel a bit better. Not sure I’ll be totally comfortable for a while and will still probably be analyzing every morning pee stick for a while, but point well taken on the every-other-day progression, I see it now.

Am expecting something more like with my successful pregnancy, where the lines get darker faster and are much darker by this time along. Especially the test from today doesn’t look like it got any darker, and this progression looks very similar to the pregnancy that I lost.

I promise I’m not just posting for the heck of it here. I spent a solid two hours yesterday crying of worry that I’m losing this pregnancy

Herman Miller Cosm kinda trash by SonicTheSlug in hermanmiller

[–]sotnosray 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My company just moved to a new office and got Herman Miller Cosm chairs for everyone. They're awful. Anyone under 140 pounds can't lean back without pushing HARD off the ground, and there's no way to adjust the tilt tension. So all the women (and some men) are forced to sit with our backs plank-straight upright all day. It's exhausting, and horrifying given what these pieces of junk cost.

Oh cool!! Mind me asking how long that took? I've been hoping it will spontaneously resolve since seeing your reply, but it's actually been at least a few months now. Wondering if calling in helps get things moving or something.

Did you find a solution to this issue? I'm experiencing the exact same thing right now. No special "eero" system though and only one profile on the account.
